Cheesecake Cafe

This visit is to The Cheesecake Café. The hostess sat us immediately. In the past few visits it seems that they are very good at this, unlike many other restaurants in the city. The waiter came quickly and took our order for drinks, and returned with them very soon. We were already to order but he dropped off our drinks and then went to another table to take their order. I thought this was fine since the other table was their first, but they were not ready to order. He waited at that table until they had made up their minds. I found this a little strange. Usually a waiter will ask if you are ready to order and if you are not they will say something like “I’ll just give you few more minutes to think it over,” and then go to the next table. For this visit we just ordered appetizers. We tried the bacon cheddar potato skins and the deep fried mushrooms. I am aware it wasn’t the healthiest of choices. The sharing size of potato skins was much more than you can get at other places like Boston Pizza for instance (who’s servings seem to be getting smaller all the time). The only thing I found odd was the mass amount of cheese on them; it was like one giant glob of cheese with some potatoes hiding underneath. But I guess this would be appreciated by the sports watching and beer-drinking crowd that would frequent their lounge.

Overall for this visit I would give the Cheesecake Café four stars.
